Featured Studies

Researchers at National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center are recruiting healthy adults, ages 18-50, to undergo an initial assessment to determine if they will qualify for future malaria studies. These future studies may involve evaluation of experimental medications, vaccines, and vaccine strategies to prevent malaria.

The NIH is seeking children ages 2 and older with a history of eczema to participate in a study to identify better ways to diagnose food allergies. Participants do not need to have food allergies. Through this study, we hope to improve the ways food allergies are diagnosed and managed in children with eczema. Participants will not be charged for any service offered, including medications, and medical insurance is not required.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is conducting a research study of the causes and responses to treating multiple sclerosis (MS) and other brain and spine inflammatory conditions. Join this study if you have MS or a related disease. Although the study does not offer treatment options, your participation may help in future discoveries and inspire hope.

Each year, the number of cases of tick-borne diseases increases. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Lyme Disease Studies Unit is looking for healthy volunteers to participate in a research study to learn more about how the human immune system responds to tick bites.

We are looking for people recently diagnosed with Lyme disease to help us answer important questions about the infection. If you have or had the rash associated with acute Lyme disease (erythema migrans), facial palsy, meningitis, heart block, or arthritis; please consider participating in our study.

Researchers at NIH are testing a new therapy in patients diagnosed with colitis due to chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). The research aims to see if restoring the gut microbiome reduces inflammation in the colon.

Malaria is a dangerous disease that impacts hundreds of millions of people in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. It can cause severe disease and even death. Researchers at NIH's Laboratory of Malaria Immunology and Vaccinology are seeking healthy volunteers to be part of a malaria vaccine research study.
